Stances by Lynx and Liberty:
Minneapolis police walked out of Target Center Saturday after the Lynx unveiled warm up shirts supporting shooting victims last week. That included both citizens and police.
Lt. Bob Kroll took a childish pot shot at the Lynx, saying their attendance was "a pathetic draw." Are these really adults, or what? They are the pathetic ones.
Both the Lynx and Liberty took a stand this weekend.
Something I expressed via twitter Saturday: men in sports could learn from WNBA players in taking a stand.
In the meantime, the Sparks put "All Lives Matter" on their marquee before yesterday's game, which generated some online backlash.
So now the apparent USA-wide propensity to get offended and pop off is growing to the tenth power. Oh, goody.
